168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Miller had “strange moments” on his KTM during Friday practice ahead of the Indonesian MotoGP.

Miller 💃was 17th in the morning session🌄 then 16th in the afternoon.

But it was a particularly 🎃part of the circuit which c𝓰ost him valuable time.

“It was a positive day,” Miller reflected.🍌🍬 “We had good pace in the afternoon, we did a long run and felt good. The bike worked okay.

“When I needed to push a lap time at the end, I had a💛 couple of mꦅoments… strange ones…

“After the back straight at Turn 10 and 11. I was in control to carry corner speed but, for🐟 some reason, both times going in, mid-way thro🦩ugh the apex, the rear locked.

“It does some strange things like that, soওmetimes.

“We tried to carry more corner speed and lost the grip f♑rom the edge of the tyre.

“In general the bike works w𒐪ell in low-grip conditions.

“If we can fix that Sector 2 tomorrow, have more ﷺspeed through there…

“We made💟 a massive step today,♑ we’re getting better and better.”

Miller was asked if en🀅gine brakin🏅g was the cause of his problems controlling the rear of his KTM.

“I don’🎃t know if it’s a matter of slip. I’m unsure on that,” he said.

“We’re trying to fix it now, t♐he boys are trying to understand what went wrong.

“But it’s a pain in the arse, especially when you’ve put a new tyre on and y♒ou🌸’ve put together the first half of the lap well.

“The problem here is, if you have a moment like that, especially in that sequence of corners, you then hit the ♔dirty shit between Turn 11 and 12.

“༒The bike loses speed, you’re running off-line 💧at the next one, and instead of losing eight tenths you end up losing three tenths.”

Pedro Acos💧ta was the fastest KTM on Friday at Mandalika, going eightꦿh-quickest.
